US has nothing to fear; fear sustains the military industrial complex

"If you look a little deeper at & the human psyche, there's only two divisions. There's love and fear. Love implements a whole beneficial area of our psyche. But fear is what we've been living under for the last 50 years in order to sustain the military complex--stop and think; we're afraid of everything in the US . There's nothing to fear. There's nothing at all. And as president, I will call upon the courage in the people to step forward and express themselves with what counts, and that's love."

Threatening nukes is immoral foreign policy

"When you have mainline candidates that say that there's nothing off the table with respect to Iran, that's code for using nuclear devices. I got to tell you, when I'm president of the United States, there will be no preemptive wars with nukes--nuclear devices. To my mind, it's immoral, and it's been immoral for the last 50 years as part of American foreign policy."

Fighting terrorism with a war doesn't work

"We are mischaracterizing terrorism. Terrorism has been with civilization from the beginning. And it will be there to the end. We're going to be as successful fighting terrorism as we are fighting drugs with a war. It doesn't work. What you have to do is to begin to change the whole foreign policy. This invasion brought about more terrorists. Osama bin Laden must have been rolling in his blankets how happy he was over our invading Iraq."

which Stallone sci-fi are we striving for? "Judge Dredd" or "Demolition Man". The choice is ours to make in theese times.

for the next 20 years or more I can say that I supported Mike Gravel. What can the rest of you say? I guess that most of the people will all just continue to live in the loop that representative government got us in, where every lap around the cycle just keeps getting worse.

Why not give Mike your vote?

If so, this will be marked as a significant event in the History books

"Death Race 2000", maybe.

Bush and Cheney in Jail.That day i will throw a party with free champagne for everyone.

[uterfan]

I hope the corks will fly. We'll never see it happen unless Mike Gravel is President.

It's time all of these people who love bashing Bush & Co. put action behind their words: support, donate & volunteer for Mike Gravel, or they can choose to stay on the leash, sit around bitching & protesting the rest of their lives as they watch the revolving door of politics as usual take its toll on the nation.

McCain is a degenerate piece of pig shit motherfucker

[DaveBlackism]

We need more candidates like this. Otherwise our country would be remembered as a bunch of idiots in the history book.

And Vertue, who from Politicks

Had learn'd a Thousand cunning Tricks,

Was, by their happy Influence,

Made Friends with Vice: And ever since

The worst of all the Multitude

Did something for the common Good.

[Sundrumify]

"Thus every Part was full of Vice,

Yet the whole Mass a Paradice;

Flatter'd in Peace, and fear'd in Wars

They were th'Esteem of Foreigners,

And lavish of their Wealth and Lives,

The Ballance of all other Hives.

Such were the Blessings of that State;

=Their Crimes conspired to make 'em Great;

"Pretended to a reg'lar Course In Murther, and all Crimes of Force; Tho' some, first Pillory'd for Cheating, Were hang'd in Hemp of their own beating; Yet, it was thought, the Sword the bore Check'd but the Desp'rate and the Poor; That, urg'd by mere Necessity, Were tied up to the wretched Tree For Crimes, which not deserv'd that Fate, But to secure the Rich, and Great. ....... to be continued

From Bernard Mandevilles Fable of the Bees, 1707

"Justice her self, famed for fair Dealing,

By Blindness had not lost her Feeling; [140]

Her Left Hand, which the Scales should hold,

Had often dropt 'em, bribed with Gold;

And, tho' she seem'd impartial,

Where Punishment was corporal,

Pretended to a reg'lar Course ...."

Thanks for alerting me. A wake up call, like the calls of Noam Chomsky, among others, and of course, the extraordinary work of yours, on your channel. I grew up with a father, who alerted me to reality, when schools here in Germany were trying to re-write history. "All that is hidden will be revealed."
